Am happy to read that your download was finally successful. The Togo Sisters is a very worthwhile pack with great looking coasters and good popularity/satisfaction numbers.

Just a word of clarification:

Some of my more recent spate of recreations employing brake blocks on the brakerun have been causing the trains to stall on the lift during TEST MODE. They will operate properly when the rides are OPEN and running under normal conditions. This is noted in the documentation. With the brake block and Wait Times adjusted as they are, there is just no solution.

The Togo coasters also experienced long loading times due to the staff having to "fit" the restraints to every rider. Trains arriving back to the station will sit on the brakerun for a number of seconds to reflect this. Also something noted in the documentation.

I love your work Steve, but I cant download this pack. The link just makes me download index.php. Otherwise, keep up the good work.

This symptom can happen with certain download managers and/or if you right-click on the download link. All I can suggest is that you disable your download manager and left-click!

It was msn causing the problem. I used IE, and was able to download it correctly. I really like the added realism of long load times.

Greetings,

Well, the long load times were repeatedly mentioned in rider accounts and was observable in my King Cobra video. It seemed like an obvious feature to include.

I am presently working on a Park Structures pack. It is often frustrating not having prefab structures to lay down in my parks. So, I am amassing some important structures. Many are actual recreations of real world buildings.

The pack will include:
Park power station
Park workshop
Carousel pavilion
Several casinos (not the betting kind) in different architectural designs from Mission style to Oriental Orgasmic.
Pavilions, roller rinks
Concession strips, and
depots.

So far, there are 24 structures! All well detailed.

Wow buildings, and I'm guessing you're saving them with car rides or some similar small tracked ride?

Yes, other than the train and trolley depots, all other structures are saved using the car ride. That keeps nearly all buildings on one relatively uncluttered menu.

Most of the structures are copied from actual photos from Millbrook, Conneaut, Idora, and Coney Island (Ohio) parks. Even the Venice City Hall was snared for my Mission style casino!

I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the structure collection Steve! As a fan of you re-creations I can't wait to see what you've come up with in this new series!

[Trcoaster]

Wow! Brilliant idea, Steve! I'll be waiting anxiously for this .

The structure pack is now posted and has been received most favorably with 40 downloads in less than 24 hours.

I am also most gratified by the positive response to my Togo Sisters pack.
